“From 1983 to 1990, Mr. Mesbur was the exclusive architect for Cineplex Odeon Corporation, during which time he was responsible for the design of over 250 multiplex locations in Canada, the United States and England. After the establishment of Mesbur+Smith Architects, the firm completed an additional five projects for Cineplex Odeon.” – http://www.mesbursmith.com/

This is another fine example of a short-lived Cineplex-Odeon Theatre biting the dust. Are ANY of the multi-plexes that C-O opened up between 1986 and 1990 in the Chicagoland Area still open as movie theatres? I can only name the Lincoln Village and the North Riverside, now both operated by Village Theatres. Others like the Burnham, the Bricktown, the Ridge, and the Town & Country came and went so quickly.

River Oaks 1-6 is still around. Rivertree Court is now owned by Kerasotes, but may close when they open a 12 screen showplace at the nearby Hawthorne Mall. And Bloomingdale Court is still open by Village…at least until Century Theatres/Cinemark opens the 16 screener inside Stratford Square.
